Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] japspeed exhaust

Thanks for the help. I got it back up on ramps today. The exhaust was touching the crossmember. Heat gun, hammer and a slight tweek of the bracket. Sorted. Sounds awesome now :thumleft: \:D/

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Twitchy Rear End

It could be one of many things... or a combination. Worn or failed parts, geo set up, those in conjunction with poor rubber, etc etc. Where are you?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Twitchy Rear End

Ok, Thanks, so what does that mean. do i just need to take it and get four wheel tracking set up. Or is it more complicated than that. Is it a problem that you have experience with or an educated guess.??

It sounds the same as if you put your head next to a drain pipe and heard the gurgling water noise. It sounds like its coming from the rear vents (if you looked on the ou...
